Ssh (Secure Shell) Clients

Ssh clients are available for various platforms in both freeware and commercial versions. The ones that we are aware of are listed below. Note that extensive testing has only been done for the Data Fellows Windows version and the freeware Unix version. Experience with other implementations of Ssh varies from "some" to "none".

Clients for Unix

Source code for Unix machines is freely available and can be found at the Ssh home page. A commercial version of Ssh for Unix is sold by Data Fellows.

Clients for Microsoft Windows

Commercial Ssh clients for Windows and Windows NT can be obtained from Data Fellows. The specific product of interest is the F-Secure SSH Tunnel & Terminal. Trial versions can be found by clicking on the "Go To Download Center".
F-Secure can also be purchased at LANL through ESD.

F-Secure is the recommended client and is the only MS-Windows client to provide full functionality to do all the operations described in these pages.

Several free Ssh Clients are also available, including :

• A command line Ssh client
  (This is a direct port of the UNIX version. If you do not have the capabilites to compile it yourself, the available binary equates to SSH rev. 1.2.14.
  For interactive logins, it provides only a dumb terminal)
• TTSSH TeraTerm Pro terminal emulator modified to use SSH.
  (A good quality terminal client for telnet, ssh, and serial port connections. Does not provide X-Windows encrypted sessions)
• A terminal emulator.
  (we have no experience with this one and currently have no plans to.)

Commercial Ssh clients for the Macintosh can be obtained from Data Fellows. The specific product of interest is the F-Secure SSH Tunnel & Terminal. Trial versions can be found by clicking on the "Go To Download Center".
F-Secure can also be purchased at LANL through ESD.

A freeware version of SSH was apparently embedded in one of the beta 2.0 versions of Better Telnet, an upgrade of NCSA telnet. Hopefully, the developer will release it for general consumption soon.
